One Heart Personalized Ceremonies

We received many comments on how lovely and personal the ceremony was. This was due to Mark's carefully chosen words and readings (we let him give us suggestions for readings, which you do not have to do). Over a couple of sessions he crafted a ceremony that captured what we wanted to convey to our guests. He sent reminders of some important information for us throughout the planning and displayed a high degree of professionalism on the wedding day itself.

Mark at One Heart ceremonies really made our wedding special. We absolutely loved our personalized ceremony. Our guests also commented on how personalized and special our ceremony was. They could really feel and understand how tender our love is for each other and Mark captured that. He also really captured some humorous aspects about our relationship and we loved that as well. It was just so us. This was by far the best part for me about our wedding.

Also, I would mention that we really enjoyed the process that Mark has to ask you questions about your relationship so that he can put those things into the ceremony. We liked taking time out of the wedding planning to reinforce why we were getting married; it grounded us throughout the planning process as well. Thank you, Mark!! You're the best.

I can't say enough about Norma. When we first met her, we knew we wanted her to perform our ceremony. She has a genuine kindness and warmth about her. She was sincere and thoughtful. At our second meeting when she went read through our ceremony I was in tears. She captured who we were and wrote an incredibly touching ceremony. Fast foward to our wedding day on October 29, 2011. Yes that was the most unexpected winter storm to hit our area. The snow caused tremendous havoc on the roads. We were fearful that our wedding might get cancelled because we didn't know how anyone would get there. Miraculously Norma arrived ! It was not an easy trip at all; in fact it was quite dangerous. The fact that she attempted to get there, and successfully did so, proves how much she cared. To say that I appreciate her dedication and professionalism is an understatement. And while the power was out at my venue, she performed the most touching ceremony by candlelight;even without a mic. I know it was my wedding, but I think I might have had the most romantic and touching ceremonies of all time. Thank you Norma for making our day so special and putting in so much extra effort.

One Heart ceremonies was fantastic. They really personalized our wedding in a unique way and were completely professional.

My wife and I were blessed to have Mark Giller as our officiant for our wedding. He crafted a beautiful ceremony for us that was loving, spiritual, insightful, and in our case with a touch of humor that befitted the occasion. I cannot thank Mark enough for helping make our wedding a most memorable event for our immediate families and close friends that were in attendance. I highly recommend "One Heart" to anyone who desires a beautiful ceremony. My wife and I met several times with Mark to discuss our dreams, our wishes, our philosophies and our relationship. We handed the torch to Mark and he ran with it and created everything we dreamed of.

Mark is a pleasure to work with and very flexible; you can choose how much (or how little) you would like to have incorporated into your service.

Norma,
From the very beginning, we loved working with you. At our first meeting, we knew that you were the officiant for us! We couldn't have asked for a nicer, more genuine person than you, to give us the greatest gift, of marrying us. We loved how you incorporated my husband and I as individuals, and also as a couple, into our wedding ceremony. Trust me when I say that our family, friends, and guests all raved about you. Chuck and I can't thank you enough!

My husband and I were recently married on August 28, 2010. Our ceremony was performed by Norma of One Heart Ceremonies. I cannot even begin to express how thankful we were to have met Norma. The ceremony that she prepared for us was more than we ever expected. She really personalized the ceremony to suit our needs. As soon as you meet her, you can see that she is such a warm, kind person and as she performs the ceremony your guests see it as well. Before the wedding, I was so nervous and Norma was able to talk me through it and calm me down. I am so appreciative of everything she did for us that special day. Some of the wedding guests even approached me afterward to say how wonderful the ceremony was from beginning to end. She was truly the beginning to a perfect wedding day!

We had Norma from One heart ceremonies for our wedding on 8/7/2010 and I do not think we could have been any more satisfied with her services. Form the minute we spoke to her it was like speaking to our best friend. We planned our wedding from across the country (Oregon to New York)and Norma made it so simple. She took the time to get to know us and provide us with the best service. Her service was so personalized and heart felt that guest at our wedding thought she was a family friend of ours. During the chaos of getting ready she met with both myself and my now husband seperatly and gave us kind loving words that calmed us and helped us tune everything else out and focus on the love around us. She was also able to include my daughter from a previous relationship in a very special way. Everyone commented and they were amazed with her words and how well she knew us. We will most definitely be refering her to others.
Thank you so much Norma.

best officiant ever! she will exceed your expectations! articulate, caring, really gets to know the couple. everyone will be happy, parents included.

Thank you Mark!
Mark Giller was wonderful to work with! From beginning to end he was professional, knowledgable and incredibly helpful to us. Both he and his partner Norma Moutal were very courteous and helpful on the phone and went out of their way for us.
We highly recommend Mark to anyone looking to work with someone who is genuine,
sensitive and able to bring you together and reflect your beliefs and wishes for not only your ceremony but also for your life together. A&HG

Mark Giller from One-Heart Ceremonies officiated our wedding in 2009. After filling out lengthy questionnaires about ourselves and the type of wedding service we envisioned, and meeting with Mark in person, both my wife and I felt as if he understood us and was able to craft the ceremony that was right for us. Rev. Giller is such a warm hearted man with a great personality and sense of humor. It was amazing working with him. Many of our guests told us they thought he was great and that our ceremony was very unique and special. When it was time to plan our baby blessing in March it was natural to call Mark and have him officiate that ceremony as well. By now he feels like part of the family. He has seen my wife and I through the two most important events of our lives. I would strongly recommend Reverend Giller and One-Heart Ceremonies.

We absolutely loved working with Mark at One Heart ceremonies. He made us feel so comfortable and at ease with everything that was going to happen that day. He worked with us, got to know us and really took the time to make sure all went perfectly - as it did!
They definitely are pro's at what they do!
I'd recommend them over and over again - that's how much I appreciated their services.

Norma Moutal is thoughtful, understanding and sincere. Thanks to her, our wedding ceremony was a personalized message about our past and our future life together. She designed a beautiful ceremony that included our family and friends to make it a truly memorable occasion.

We would highly recommend Norma Moutal. We've recommended her to all of our family and friends getting married. After our first time meeting Norma, we felt like we'd known her forever. There was no question she'd be the perfect match for our ceremony. Norma is warm, sincere, and pays close attention to your "story" -- your personalities, lifestyles and experiences -- and puts together a ceremony that is so personalized to you as a couple -- totally customized. Not like any other wedding ceremony we've been to. We truly feel like she is part of our family and have kept in touch over the years.

Wonderful, great, superb. We highly recommend One Heart.

Norma has been present at many important moments in our lives. She allowed us to create a personal and intimate ceremony just as we wanted it. We were so happy with the wonderful service she provided that we asked her to officiate the baby blessing ceremony for both of our children.

My husband as I were married by Norma on Aug. 5th 2010. It was important to us that we have an officiant that really understood exactly what the day meant to us and who we were as people. Norma was just that. She really took the time to get to know both of us individually and was able to create the perfect ceremony for our day. Norma makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet her and she never treats you as if you're just another job. In a way an officiant is one of the most important vendor decisions you can make. It's the person responsible for actually joining you as husband and wife. There are cheaper ways to go, but not if you want someone willing to take the time to make the day 100% about you and your husband to be. I can't imagine having had anyone else up there with us at that special moment.

Norma did an unbelievable job as our officiant. She has an uncanny ability to truly capture the essence of the couple and sincerely deliver a unique and heartfelt ceremony. We connected immediately with Norma at our first meeting and felt confident that she was the right choice for us - and we couldn't have been more right! Norma is wonderful and all in attendance at our wedding felt the same way.

Norma was just wonderful. She created the most beautiful ceremony for us - our guests are still talking about how nice it was. Norma talked about how we met, how much we love each other, etc - it was a perfect ceremony designed to be ours! Norma is the most loving, understanding person! she really made our ceremony lovely!

It is always a pleasure working with Norma and Mark from One Heart. They are very personable and great people to work with. We can always count on them being on time and ready and they always send us the ceremony information in advance so we are as prepared as they are on the day.

It was my privilege and pleasure to work with Norma Moutal for a wedding ceremony at the Castle in Tarrytown recently. It was the perfect blend of tradition and personalization, very beautiful and meaningful. Not only that, Norma was lovely to work with. I hope that our paths will cross again many times in the future.
